| "Can the child in my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Well, I'd been afraid of changing, 'cause I built my life around you, but time makes you bolder, children get older, I'm getting older too. So I take this love and I take it down." | | |
| Imagine me, loving what I see
when the mirror looks at me,
'cause I imagine me in a place of no insecurities
and I'm finally happy,
'cause I imagine me Letting go of all the ones who hurt me,
'cause they never did deserve me
Can you imagine me Saying no to thought that try to contol me,
remembering all You told me,
Lord, can You imagine me Over what my mama said
and healed from what my daddy did
I wanna live and not read that page again Chorus:
Imagine me, being free
Trusting You, totally
Finally, I can imagine me I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me,
But finally I can imagine me Being strong and not letting people break me down
No, you won't get that joy this time around
Can you imagine me In a world where nobody has to live afraid
because of Your love fear's gone away
Lord, can You imagine me Letting go of my past
and glad I have another chance
and my heart will dance
'cause I don't have to read that page again This song is dedicated to people like me:
Those that struggle with insecurity, acceptance and even self-esteem
That never felt good enough
That never felt pretty enough
But imagine God whispering in your ear,
letting you know that everything that has happened
is now GONE, GONE, GONE, it's all GONE
Every sin, GONE
Every mistake, GONE
Every failure, GONE, it's all GONE
Depression, GONE, by faith it's GONE
Low self-esteem, hallelujah, it's GONE
All my scars, GONE
All my pain, it's all GONE
It's in the past, it's yesterday
What your mother did, it's GONE
What your father did, it's GONE
HALLELUJAH! IT'S GONE!

| I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He'd have me be, is who I am
As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul
(Chorus)
Mercy said no
I'm not going to let you go
I'm not going to let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
Sin will never take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no
For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see
As midnight fell upon the crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow
Mercy said no...
And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago
When mercy said no.

| What's been on my heart lately:
"In Christ alone I'll glory, though I could pride myself in battles won....In every victory let it be said of me, my source of strength, my source of hope is Christ alone."
I can't even express the presence of the Lord in my life. He always gave me exactly what I needed to survive, to get by, even though I didn't see it at the time. The pain has been real, but in everything, I can say that "unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of the grave." (Ps. 94:17) He has been my Great Supplier, my Sustenance.
"I thought I did what's right, I thought I had the answer, I thought I chose the surest road, but that road brought me here. So I put up a fight and told You how to help me, and just when I had given up, the truth is coming clear. For You know better than I, You know the way. I'll let go the need to know why, for You know better than I."
I have forgotten His faithfulness time and time again, but each time I forgot, He proved it to me again. I don't know what's going to happen next, it could be even more painful than the past, but I can say that I trust the Lord. I look at the past and I see the Lord's hand in it and I look to the future waiting to see the Lord's hand there as well. | | |
| There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I could not undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all, all over again,
But it don't really matter,
When life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
[CHORUS:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wonderd how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every start,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.
There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should've taken,
Been some signs I didnt see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.
And all the things that break you,
All the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
you just gotta move on,
Because they are all,
Lessons learned.
